Ripon Community House was formerly the Hospital Wing of the old Workhouse on Allhallowgate, Ripon. The building was renovated in 2006 and is now run by a charity, Ripon Community House Limited, which administers the building. It is a community facility for the benefit of Ripon and the surrounding area.
The building is within easy walking distance from the Market Square and is adjacent to the Workhouse Museum. Part of an historic site, the façade remains substantially unaltered and many of its original features have been retained.
Ripon Community House offers a safe environment and facilities for all the community. There is access for people with disabilities to all areas of the building.
Our reception is staffed by volunteers and there are opportunities to join this team – if interested, contact us here.
We have adult education classes, various exercise classes and other community groups that use the building on a regular basis – daytime and evening. Please contact us to find what is on.
The interior of the building is fully modernised and Ripon Community House offers meeting, conference and training space in rooms equipped to a good standard. These facilities are available for sessional bookings from 9am to 9pm.
We know it’s not even summer yet, but whilst Father Christmas is sat on the beach, he’s getting his diary in order!
This year’s Christmas Fair will be on Saturday 6th December between 10.30am and 2.30pm
If you’d like to reserve a stall you’ll need to be quick as we only have limited spaces. £5 non-refundable deposit required with booking.
